Actually, perhaps the best way for this to work is for people to include a
URL of the web page of the "official" virus warning...
Although, if this one happened to be fake, they've done a MUCH better job of
making it look authentic than most of the virus hoaxes posted here... :)
LF&S, Kristi
Original Message----
No virus is ever spread by a person just opening an email. Now, if
there's an attachment and you open the attachment, then that's where
viruses like to hide. But, as I said above, I'd like to see confirmation
from a list moderator before I believe this is a true virus, as opposed
to a hoax. I wish the rest of the list members would let the moderators
tell us about viruses. It would make me less skeptical.
